I started a thread a while ago about the shoulder pain because it wasn't until I had my post op appointment that I found out wait was causing it. Shoulder pain- revealed Other bansters explained it there better than I did!

Well that depends. Preop diet, coming off sugar and caffeine can cause a little bit. Once that is done then its pretty smooth accept for one thing....for me anyway.....I ate to stuff down emotions. Now I have to deal with them. That means expressing disappointment, sadness, frustration, boredom etc. however, I am so happy with the result that I really can't say I'm irritable or feel like i do when on a diet!

Seems like you are too tight!

Add me micheleost .. Love MFP

So beautiful!

Sweet, supportive Bs!

It may be from the tube rubbing up against the diaphragm. I had the same problem. Left shoulder right? It is what gave me the most problems. Call ur dr to see about taking Advil or something. Hang in there!

25% or 25 g?

Very interesting! My Nut has me on iron too! Hmmm! I didn't have iron prob, was just the instructions I got from a mandatory nutrition class I took the day before surgery! Multi Vitamin Iron CQ10 Calcium B12 B complex D-1000 Am I overdoing it? My next appt is 12/5.

I get mine from Swanson Vitamins online. They have a bariatric line that's pretty decent priced. I also have used CVS. Both have no ingredients from china.

I've never heard of that!

Advice is what you seek, advice is what you will get. You know as well as anyone on here that if food is the focus of your life you will not succeed. If you think That losing 4 lbs was a reward for eating " stuffing" yourself then you may be disappointed in about a day or two. I read between what you wrote, small plate and seconds really probably wasn't that much food- however you did eat for pleasure and not for necessity and you didn't eat with your band in mind or your health for that fact. Justifying what you ate and how much you ate by saying that you were probably stalled because you were not eating enough is confusing two realities. 1) fat and sugar content in what you ate is not conducive of weight loss 2) eating two little of the right foods can stall your metabolism. Now hear me out, why do you think you are being " judged" . why do you think that those on here don't think it was a good option 3 weeks out? They want to bash you? Not in the least! There is a 50/50 chance that you will lose weight and/or keep it off. ( read all the post from " failed " bansters, they are everywhere). I am not an expert but I am having great success with no stalling since my preop. I was banded 10/5. I think judging by your old self and your old mentality you did great BUT judging by this new journey and the new you there is still some work to do. Don't wave the victory band just yet. I'd like to cross the finish line with you also successful. Breaking old habits really is the key. I really hope you can take this and ALL of the comments in the spirit in which they are intended. Keep us posted!

Keep us posted on your journey. You must be getting excited!

The hernia repair you feel in your back ( per dr) so if I overdid it I felt it right away. Had to wait longer to start exercising and lifting too.

Slap the "juicy" right on your a$$! You earned it GF!

So exciting! You're doing great!

Welcome and congrats!
